I wish that I had a photo of Pelosi and Congressman "Dollar Bill" Jefferson together.

Here is the article where the DA fights the IG for all information pertaining to what the IG is investigating, and the IG struck down any such notion.
I wasn't aware that the IG had to answer to the DA when conducting an investigation on city government officials?
Wouldn't that compromise the identity, safety and security of investigating officials?

City Council members and the Mayor’s Office also received subpoenas to produce documents concerning NOAH. They have until August 21 to do so.
Rosenberg said the August 21 due date is significant because that is a normal grand jury day, which could indicate that a federal grand jury may already be looking at possible criminal charges stemming from the NOAH investigation.

some of the homes listed on NOAH work sheets were in fact gutted by volunteer groups, records show. Meanwhile, more than 100 of the 870 properties that the agency’s contractors claim to have remediated have since been torn down. Neighbors have said that some of the demolished homes were not cleaned up at all before they were razed, though taxpayers were billed for the service.

All of these criminals need to do some hard time in a federal prison.
I am so sick of them stealing taxpayer money, and acting like it's perfectly okay to do so.
Looks like Jefferson will be getting voted out of office very soon.
At least now in New Orleans, the people object to the corruption. I can recall the days all not that long ago when the people just laughed off and accepted the corruption.
From the decrepit city streets to the Kangaroo traffic court system, I am freaking sick and tired of the criminal mentality.
Have you ever seen an Orleans Parish Traffic Court hearing? They keep the cash register in the same room as the DA's representative, and the police officer doesn't have to be present as the DA tries to bully the accused into giving the cashier their money.
It's disgusting.
Since when does a person not have the right to confront the accuser in court?
Damn crooks, every last one of them.
Especially Obama!
The IG people on this thread are federal IG investigators who work for HUD, not for New Orleans.
A lot of the departments in the federal government have IG divisions. Most of those investigators come from a former LEO background and attend a very thorough investigator class before they take their positions within their agencies. They should be independent from the city of New Orleans.
Given how filthy the New Orleans DA office is (even though Eddie Jordan is gone), I still don't trust any of those people.
DA Eddie Jordan was a black racist who fired all of the New Orleans DA staff who were white, and replaced all of them with black personnel.
It's the last place in the Republic that I would expect a fair trial.
No need to apologize. I’m not local to NOLA, but am always interested in hearing about how low that government can go.
The infrastructure of Orleans Parish has been broken for years and it is only getting worse. The potholes are a disgrace and I have seen places where manhole covers were missing for months. Last summer there was a major intersection where the traffic control lights were blinking for two months.
What was most disturbing about the potholes, missing manhole covers and traffic lights blinking for two months is that people in the area believe that kind of crap occurs in most American cities. Most people in New Orleans have no idea how broken the city really is.
Around 20 years ago I got a speeding ticket on S, Claiborne and I when I mentioned the ticket to friends and family most of them knew someone that could fix the ticket. The corruption even then ran from the Governor to my cousin’s girlfriend’s sister who answered phones in the office that maintained the city’s street signs.
Everyone in the City, no matter their race or political party is corrupt.
However, at least today there is a glimmer of hope on the City Council in Arnie Fielkow and Stacy S. Head.
However, it would not be all that surprised if they were on the take.
This is true. Like you I find that since Katrina, New Orleanians are less likely to laugh off much of anything when it comes to our public officials, particularly corruption. I guess that despite anguish it caused, the storm did have a thin silver lining. I'm really expecting Nagin to get charged with something before it's all over.
Well...After Katrina I suggested we turn NO into a nice bombing range for the Navy but did anyone listen.......NOOOOOOOOOOO
Hopefully, because of this, someone big will go down. The key to this may very well be Nagin’s brother in law who will very likely roll over on some big fish.
Again, the NOAH Scandal is minor compared to others we have seen since the storm.
The scandal that pisses me off he most is the FEMA-Shaw Blue Roof Scandal where our Federal Government paid Shaw an average of $5,000.00 to put a temporary Blue Roof on homes after the storm.
It cost the federal tax payer more to place a blue tarp on my house than it cost me to replace the entire roof with new 30 year shingles!
And that was money not stolen by the local political hacks but by thieves in the Federal Government.
And yes, I laugh at the people in Mandeville who are so quick to rag on New Orleans and are now defending Eddie Price. As for me, I do not care what party they belong to, what the color of their skin or who they represent. If they steal a dime from the tax payer they need to be sent to Angola and spend their long summer days working on the Farm.
Yes, I can’t get over Price. Practically every time you pick up the TP there is a new and more embarrassing revelation about him. I first thought he was loser when it came out that some very expensive Christmas gifts that were given him were bought with monies that had been collected to buy toys for disadvantaged children of the area. Pathetic and, in my mind, fraudulent!
Just think, if Goyeneche and the Metropolitan Crime Commission hadn’t stuck there noses into his traffic stop on the bridge, he would have gotten away with that completely. Though I am sorry that the officers that stopped him that night lost their jobs. They were really caught between a rock and a hard place. At least Loicano is gone. Why is Price, the one that started all this, still in office? Mind boggling!
I feel very sorry for the Causeway cops that lost their jobs. If Price were a Man he would have said “I was DUI and I used my influence to get out of being arrested. Because of that, Law Enforcement Officers lost their jobs. Therefore, I am resigning my position as mayor.”
But, Price is not a man, he is criminal scum, no different than Nagin or Jefferson.
I am sick in tired of sick and tired of the blacks in the New Orleans area defending black corrupt politicians simply because they are black and sick and tired of whites in New Orleans defending white politicians simple because they are white.
The people in that city have to stop pointing fingers at each other and send every corrupt politician to prison, no matter the color of their skin.
Who is defending Price because he is white? Are you okay?
People calling in to WWL who for some reason want to defend Price for his deeds and last year were defending David Vitter for purchasing the services of a prostitute.
I even saw people here on FR defend Vitter.
